(Trinidad Express) Guyana-born attorney Odai Ramischand was on Thursday housebound, but “not intimidated”, following an attempt on his life in the car park of a supermarket near his Maracas, St Joseph home.
Ramischand, in a telephone interview on Thursday, said a single shot fired by an unknown person from a van missed him “by an inch or two”, but has left him totally shaken.
Having been threatened before, Ramischand said he will not be deterred from doing his work.
“If I have to die while doing my job, so be it,” Ramischand said.
He recalled the assassination last May of his close friend, senior counsel Dana Seetahal, who he said died an honourable death. Ramischand was leaving the supermarket around 11.10 a.m., to make his way to his office, when a gold-coloured pick-up, proceeding south along Maracas Royal Road, swerved from the left lane towards him. One of the heavily-tinted windows went down, he said, and a raised hand was seen.
